This Is How L.A. Girls Do Garden Parties

We all love a great summer party, right? But while most people might opt for a backyard barbecue or beach trip, your favorite Instagram stars and celebrities have gone one step further.

From Zoe Saldana in a graphic floor-length halter to Camilla Belle in an ivory, beaded long-sleeve, these women took the less-is-more approach to playing up their fun, intricate dresses. They styled their exquisite gowns with minimal makeup and just a touch of jewelry—after all, Valentino speaks for itself.
